Shilpa Shetty for Bond 22?

Cinematical is reporting this morning that Bollywood star turned tabloid darling Shilpa Shetty has signed to play a character called 'Devi' in the new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace.

Shetty, best known for her dignified response to an avalanche of abuse from a group of other inmates in the last Celebrity Big Brother, has appeared in around 50 Hindi-language productions but the James Bond outing would represent her first Hollywood role.

Little is known yet about the scope of the character - whether it's a significant part or a cameo - but it's undoubtedly the kind of thing Shilpa was shooting for when she entered the Big Brother circus.
